Alan Jay Lerner - What Did I Have That I Dont Have Lyrics

DAVID
I don't see why they redesigned me
He likes the way he used to find me
He likes the girl I left behind me
I mean she...I mean me...

What did I have that I don't have?
What did he like that I lost track of?
What did I do that I don't do the way I did before?

What isn't there that once was there?
What have I got a great big lack of?
Something in me that
He could see that
Beckons to him no more

I'm just a victim of time
Obsolete in my prime
Out-of-date and outclassed, by my past!

What did he love that there's none of?
What did I lose the sweet warm knack of?
Wouldn't I be the late great me if I knew how?
Oh, what did I have I don't have now?

I thought he liked me, and all this time, he was thinking of someone else. He was never interested in me. He was interested in ME. I don't get it. What is so special about her, apart from the obvious anatomical differences? Who the Hell does he think he is?
What did I have that I don't have?
What do I need a big supply of?
What was the trick I did particularly well before?

What did he see that's gone in me?
What did I use that now I'm shy of?
Why is the sequel never equal?
Why is there no encore?

Where can I go to repair
All the wear and the tear
Till I'm once again she, the previous me?

What did he like that I'm not like?
What was the charm that I've run dry of?
What would I give if my old know-how still knew how?

What did I know?
Tell me where did it go?
Oh, what, oh what did I have I don't have now?
